That's the point people are complaining about with git. It's fine to consider that an issue, but that doesn't mean the interface or documentation are bad, it's that people want it to feel familiar.

I, for one, was very comfortable with git's command line from the start. I came in wanting something different, and found the distributed model was just what was needed, and frankly, more straightforeward than the popular centralized approach. It also helps that you can play with and break things locally, rather than having to worry about a server someone else relys on.
